"Jā ne" (じゃあね, "See Ya") is the third single by the Japanese idol girl group Onyanko Club. It was released in Japan on February 21, 1986.
Outline
[edit]This song was written for the graduation of Miharu Nakajima from Onyanko Club in March 1986. Sonoko Kawai would graduate with her, however, this song focuses on Nakajima's graduation, as Kawai did not decide to graduate until shortly after Nakajima, and she would continue to work as a solo artist after this, but Nakajima will retire from the entertainment industry on this occasion. Therefore, on the record jacket, Nakajima is emphasized and Kawai is not in the photo. According to an official, Kawai herself was agreeable to this treatment.[1][2]
